After the Wolves star attracted attention in July when he penned an op-ed calling on President Joe Biden to forfeit his 2024 reelection bid – an argument Biden later followed through on – Trump criticised Clooney in a post on his own Truth social network, saying the “fake movie actor” should “get out of politics and get back on TV.” On Tuesday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Clooney responded to President Trump’s suggestion. “If he does that, I do that,” Clooney said. “That’s a trade-off I’m willing to accept.”…
